1 answer

To solve the system of equations, we have:

  1. \( y = 2x - 3 \) (Equation 1)
  2. \( 4x - 3y = 31 \) (Equation 2)

We can use Equation 1 to substitute for \( y \) in Equation 2.

Substituting \( y \) in Equation 2:

\[ 4x - 3(2x - 3) = 31 \]

Now, simplify the equation:

\[ 4x - 6x + 9 = 31 \]

Combine like terms:

\[ -2x + 9 = 31 \]

Now, isolate \( x \):

\[ -2x = 31 - 9 \] \[ -2x = 22 \] \[ x = -11 \]

Now, substitute \( x = -11 \) back into Equation 1 to find \( y \):

\[ y = 2(-11) - 3 \] \[ y = -22 - 3 \] \[ y = -25 \]

So the solution to the system of equations is:

\((-11, -25)\)

Thus, the solution to the system is \((-11, -25)\).
